Semi-Automatic

Just as the name suggests, semi-automatic espresso machines are more interactive and have a steeper learning curve than super automatic models. When you get your hands on a semi-automatic espresso machine, you’ll be able to make variations in grind fineness, tamp pressure, water volume, and milk-foam consistency. A semi-automatic espresso machine is distinct because it works with an automated pump, automated temperature-controlled boiler, and specialized activation switches that disengage and engage the pump.
